Chapter Three-Paul's POV
I couldn't wait for English, 4th period. I was practically jumping in my seat next to Jared in 3rd and it was driving him nuts.
"Will you calm down already?"
"I can't 12 minutes and I'll get to see her again."
"Dude, if you don't calm down she'll think you're on a sugar high or something."
"I know, but I haven't seen her since yesterday and it seems like forever. It's killing me."
"I know. I've felt it. It's worse because the imprint is so new. It'll get better but not by much."
We talked until the bell rang. I nearly ran out the door. On my way out I heard Jared laughing. Screw him. I get to see Jenna.
I walked into English and sat down next to Jenna.
"Hey."
She jumped a little.
"Oh. Hey, Paul. You scared me."
"Sorry."
I smiled at her. She smiled back.
"It's okay."
"So, how are you today?"
She laughed.
"I'm good. How 'bout you?"
"Better now."
I said with a smile. She looked down and blushed. I laughed.
"How's your brother?"
"Still an ass."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Why don't you guys like each other?"
"He's never really liked me. I…well he just likes to start with me. So, I just try and ignore him."
"I'm sorry about him."
"S'Okay. It's not your fault."
"You know, he wasn't always like that. He used to be just like me. He was quiet. He minded his own business. Ever since we moved here when we were in 5th grade he changed."
"Really?"
"Yeah. We were both shy. We really only talked to each other. I used to know him better than he knew himself. But now, I don't even know him anymore."
"I'm sorry. That sucks."
"Yeah. Whatever. He wants to be a jerk then it's his decision. I don't care."
"Yes you do."
"What?"
She looked totally shocked.
"You care. He's your brother. You love him. It hurts you to see him and not even know who he is anymore."
"How do you know that?"
"He's your brother. And your face may say I don't care but your pretty little eyes are telling me something completely different."
"Wow. You can tell that by looking at my eyes."
"Yes. And just so you know it's not good to bottle up your feelings."
I know, but…I don't like leaning on people. I learned the hard way that people change and it's not always for the better."
"Well, sometimes you've got to trust people and hope they won't walk away or change for the worse."
"Yeah. I guess."
"And Jenna?"
"Yeah?"
"I'll be here for you if you wanna let your feelings out. I promise I won't walk away. I can't promise I won't change but I can promise it won't be for the worse, only for the better."
"Thanks, Paul. I know I've really only known you two days but I trust you. I don't know why but I do."
I smiled.
"Good. Then can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Will you go out with me? Like on a date. I wanna get to know you better."
She smiled and blushed.
"I'd like that. I wanna get to know you better too."
"Great. How about Friday?"
"Sure."
"Awesome. So you wanna sit with me at lunch? You can meet my friends."
"I'd like that too."
"Good."
She smiled at me and I felt my heartbeat quicken.
Then the teacher walked in the room, stopping all conversation.
